Project Description

The 7919 collection of Dwarf NFTs are each unique images design by award winning cartoonist and animator Matt Bissett-Johnson. These art pieces will live on the Polygon blockchain and have a novel smart contract feature with multiple unlocks that become a part of the original NFT. The theme of the Cypher Mountain Dwarves is to pay homage to the Crypto culture and is reflected in the four guild types: the industrious Miners, the ambitious Merchants, the zealot Warriors, and the creative Smiths. The project aims to be fun and explore the possibilities of NFTs and the Metaverse, we intend to change the world one blockchain game at a time.

Please see our animation at https://cyphermountain.com to listen to the entertaining background story.

Each 7919 NFT has three random time unlocks that will trigger a physical change to your dwarf and an opportunity to collect a guild artefact. There are over 100 different attributes of varying rarities and over 50 evolution attributes of varying rarities.

Guild Artefacts Unlock

Each Guild has five artefacts that can be collected for your dwarf at the unlock event you will be given the choice of selecting one of the artefacts. The owner of the dwarf will be able to get the artefact free. Like the original NFT the loot is stored on IPFS and verified via the blockchain.

Physical Change Unlock

Your dwarf image may physically change at each of the time locked events. A new image of the dwarf can be obtained by the owner at the time of the unlock also free, the original image will be unharmed. Only some dwarves will have physical image progressions and they will be vary depending on the type of dwarf you own.
